{"product_id":"9783030435714","title":"Physics of Megathrust Earthquakes","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis topical volume on the physics of megathrust earthquakes investigates many aspects of the earthquake phenomenon, from the geodynamic setting of subduction zones, to interseismic and postseismic deformation, slow-slip events, dynamic rupture, and tsunami generation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThe dynamics of the seismic cycle at megathrusts is rich in various types of earthquakes, many of which  only recently discovered. Our early understanding of the earthquake phenomenon was a type of stick-slip motion, where the fault is loaded by tectonic forces for an extended period, followed by rapid failure. Extensive seismic and geodetic monitoring of subduction zones has revealed a much more varied seismic behavior, where episodic fault slip can occur at any slip velocity between the background loading rate, of the order of a few atoms per second, and the fast seismic range, about a meter per second. Events that fill the gap between slow creep and fast ruptures include a host of slow earthquakes. Subduction zones therefore provide a natural laboratory to better understand the physics of earthquakes and faulting. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePreviously published in \u003ci\u003ePure and Applied Geophysics\u003c\/i\u003e, Volume 176, Issue 9, 2019\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe chapters “Interseismic Coupling and Slow Slip Events on the Cascadia Megathrust”, “Effect of Slip-Weakening Distance on Seismic–Aseismic Slip Patterns”, “Physics-Based Scenario of Earthquake Cycles on the Ventura Thrust System, California: The Effect of Variable Friction and Fault Geometry”, and “A Secondary Zone of Uplift Due to Megathrust Earthquakes” are available as open access articles under a CC BY 4.0 license at link.springer.com  \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Year: \u003c\/strong\u003e2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImprint: \u003c\/strong\u003eSpringer International Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eFormat: P\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eWeight (Gram): 563\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sylvain Barbot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41269910601906,"sku":"9783030435714","price":101.39,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0502\/5382\/4178\/products\/3030435717.01_SCLZZZZZZZ.jpg?v=1636075685","url":"https:\/\/readabook.store\/products\/9783030435714","provider":"READABOOK BY ALKEM","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
